Weather in Big Bend National Park
When bad weather does come, it's often in the form of thunderstorms. Even moderate amounts of rain can cause flash flooding, washing out roads or leaving them otherwise impassable ? especially the unpaved backroads and sections of the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, where flood gauges are often present. A car can be swept away in as little as one foot of water; if there is even the slightest doubt if it's safe to cross, wait it out ? water drains away quickly in the park. Be careful when hiking in washes and pour-offs ? flash floods can occur even if it's not raining nearby; never camp in these areas. Rain in Big Bend is often accompanied by lightning ? if you're caught outside, stay low, try to get indoors or in your car, and stay off of hills and ridges and away from trees.
